Lincoln-Douglas will run on a condensed schedule on Saturday night and Sunday morning as long as judging permits. In past years, we have been able to finish both LD divisions much earlier than policy. 

* Shuttles to and from the Marriott will run continuously until everyone is transported to Woodward, but please be punctual so that the shuttle can run on-time. The shuttle will pick up on the North side of the hotel near the Florida/Georgia and Alabama/Tennessee ballrooms. The shuttle will drop off in front of the dining hall at Woodward, a short walk to the Chapel (adult hospitality) and the Middle School Cafeteria (student hospitality).

** Shuttles from Woodward will depart from the driveway in front of the dining hall (across from the Chapel). Shuttles will run continuously until everyone is transported back to the hotel, but please be punctual so that the shuttle can run on-time.

*** On Saturday evening, the first shuttle will leave Woodward following the Awards Assembly. Additional shuttles will run after the conclusion of the first elimination round. 

This schedule is subject to change.
